Phased Array Technology

Bayou Inspection Services, Inc., commonly referred to in the industry as “Bayou Tester’s,” is a provider of NDE and has been an integral part of the Onshore / Offshore Construction Industry, Petrochemical Industry and Oil & Gas Industry for over 34 years. As industry and governmental regulations increases the demand for more advances technology also increases.

Phased Array Technology – Phased Array Technology generates an ultrasonic beam with the capability of setting beam parameters such as angle, focal distance, and focal point size through software. Furthermore, this beam can be multiplexed over a large array. These capabilities open a series of new possibilities. For instance, it is possible to quickly vary the angle of the beam to scan a part without moving the probe itself. Phased arrays also allow the replacement of multiple probes and even mechanical compoennts. Inspecting a part with a variable-angle beam also maximizes detection regarless of the defect orientation, while optimizing signal-to-noise ratio.

*Eliminates the need to move people from the area as required when using radiation sources. (No boundaries, no delays)Software control of beam angle, focal distance, and spot size

*Multiple-angle inspection with a single, small electronically-controlled multielement probe.

*Greater flexibility for the inspection of complex geometry

*High-speed scans with no moving parts.

*Produces an image of the product that can be printed and stored for our customer.

Alloy Analysis Technology (Positive Material Identification)Alloy chemistry and Grade ID for PMI, NDT & Quality Control – The innov-X XRF has become the preferred analyzer for petrochemical, production/power and fabrication industies. It is widely accepted for alloy verification in nearly every major refinery, the nuclear power industry, and by leading alloy producers and fabricators.
